A poem.

Why does everyone say,
That the rose in the most beautiful flower?
To my eyes, it's not beautiful at all!
I shall tell you why.

Something that is beautiful to me,
Does not have thorns.
Why does a rose have thorns?
When it almost has no enemies?
Is it because it is too precious?
Or is it just to close itself from the world?

Something beautiful to me,
Is something that says,
"Hey! Look, I'm beautiful, and you can't say otherwise!"
Not something that hides itself.
Something or someone that is not afraid,
To show it's inner beauty.

So a rose,
Is not beautiful.
Because it has thorns,
So we cannot touch it without hurting ourselves.

What about those other flowers?
The ones without thorns.
They are beautiful,
Because they have no thorns.
They are not afraid to face their enemies,
With no armor at all, just their leaves and petals.

But they are out there saying,
"Look! You can touch me! You can grab me!"
"I can't hurt you! I have no thorns!"

And that, is beauty to me.

@chapus2009 Awesome! 😊 I hope your story's going well too. Will you become a writer?

@james-bond Hmmm, I dunno. But I'm planning to write poems and books as a hobby and not really a job. ^.^ And thanks! 😊 And my story (Jane and Yugana) is going pretty well. I already made it to page 6 I believe. I plan to finish by the end of summer.
